Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the federal securities laws - that is, statements about the future, not about
past events. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and
projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans,
objectives, future performance and business. These statements may include words
such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend,"
"believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "can have," "likely" and other
words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements made include any
statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact and
may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's growth
opportunities, strategy, future financial results, forecasts, projections, plans
and capital expenditures, technological innovations, ability to reduce costs,
the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, and the commercial silica
and diatomaceous earth industry. Forward-looking statements are based on our
current expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate. These
statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties and
changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause
actual results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking
statements. Among these factors are global economic conditions; the effect of
the COVID-19 pandemic on markets the Company serves, fluctuations in demand for
commercial silica, diatomaceous earth, perlite, clay and cellulose; fluctuations
in demand for frac sand or the development of either effective alternative
proppants or new processes to replace hydraulic fracturing; the entry of
competitors into our marketplace; changes in production spending by companies in
the oil and gas industry and changes in the level of oil and natural gas
exploration and development; general economic, political and business conditions
in key regions of the world; pricing pressure; weather and seasonal factors; the
cyclical nature of our customers' business; our inability to meet our financial
and performance targets and other forecasts or expectations; our substantial
indebtedness and pension obligations, including restrictions on our operations
imposed by our indebtedness; operational modifications, delays or cancellations;
prices for electricity, natural gas and diesel fuel; our ability to maintain our
transportation network; changes in government regulations and regulatory
requirements, including those related to mining, explosives, chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas production; silica-related health issues and
corresponding litigation; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our
